# Instructions

This project uses a Makefile to ensure that scripts are executed in the correct order for reproducibility. Users should execute the following commands in a terminal to re-draw all figures:

    cd /path/to/ps_power_replication_20240708
    make renv
    make

The `make renv` command uses `renv` to install required R packages for replication.

The `make` command does the following:

1. Run `clean.R` scripts for every meta-analysis.
2. Run `prep.R` to merge and clean the final data.
3. Run `analyze.R` to produce the main figures.
4. Run `ak.R` to produce the A-K robustness check in appendix.
5. Run `balance_table.R` to produce balance table from the appendix.
